I had my 'OMG look at the obvious pop-culture reverence - BUT IN FAIRYTALE LAND!' recommended lifetime allowance by around halfway through the second film.

Far Away Idol was the one that put me off the Shrek franchise for good.

They should have left it after the first or second one...

The first one was ok, a nice dig a Disney movies with some heart itself, but now its just random pop culture jokes crammed into a threadbare plot, the last one was awful i didnt finish watching it on sky, glad i didnt pay to see it at the cinema

i liked the 2nd one more then the 1st one strangely enough. It took a number of repeat viewings for me to warm up to the first beyond a meh (another example of an average film beign watchable for l31mord)

but the third was f*cking god awful.


Very little hope for this one especially

the main villian is rumplestilkin, who actually appeared in the previous 2 films as a minor background character, it doesnt feel like there is alot they can do with him

BUT!

John lithgow is returning as lord farthqauw...which is what led to me warming up to the first one so if its anything more then a simple cameo it might be worth watching

Richard Dower

The first one was great, it had enough adult humour in it to please a wide audience, but everything since then is meh, it's one movie that should have stayed ONE.

Wut so you watched it and said meh then you watched it again and said meh then you watched it again and said meh then you watched it again ...

What a shocking waste of time.

I was the same. I saw it and thought it was ok but not great. Then I was at my friends' house and they were watching it and still just thought it was ok. A few years later it was on at my in-laws house on xmas day so I watched and found it to be pretty funny. It may have more to do with my mother-in-law's generous drink measures than the movie though.

I liked the second one right straight away and prefer it to the first.

Its pretty much like Iquana said

I saw it in the cinema and it didnt impress me much beyond an *ok*

But when Sky got their hands on it they played it constantly and I ended up seeing bits and pieces of it over the years numerous times.

Mostly I passed it while it was on flicking through the channels, watched the bits with lord farquay in the first half of the film and moved on to another channel.

I always felt the second half was very weak (which the sequel avoided by staggering the characters introductions) and skipped it.


Still dont own it on dvd. Or any of the franchise now that I think about it.

Shrek is played constantly in our house - small kids - it is about one of the only cartoon/kids stuff that i will sit and watch, regardless of how many times I have seen it. The humour and characters are great. But in fairness its aimed at kids with a slant towards keeping adults happy too so i think we shouldn't be too harsh - am really looking forward to it coming out, as will my 3yr old.

It should have stopped after the second one
